Sad news, my sister’s husband, John passed away this morning, due to Coronavirus he caught in hospital. John did have underlying health issues. My sister, Sue hasn’t been able to visit him since he was admitted on 19 March. So very sad as we lost our lovely mum on 30 January.
I can’t currently visit my sister because of the lockdown, but fortunately John has a sister, Valerie who is supporting my sister. She can’t even arrange a proper funeral - nobody is allowed to attend.
Scary times - stay safe - stay at home.

I am so sorry for the loss of your brother-in-law and your mother. That is alot to handle. We are under a shelter-in-place order in Alabama. These are scary times for everyone around the world. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I am so deeply sorry for your family. Words fail me. These are horrible and cruel times we are living through. May your sister find the strength to get through this. Sending my prayers and a virtual hug
I am so sorry for your loss Jo. It is devastating as is but not being able to go to your sister or have a funeral is making it more difficult to deal with the grief. ❤️ Sarah
Jo.. I I’m sorry to hear this...my friend passed last month ( not of the virus) but there can’t be a funeral ...we are all going to light a candle on Monday when she will be cremated....it’s so sad that her family can’t pay their last respects but we will never forget her
I hope you can maybe do something like that for your brother in law
Very sad

Dearest Jo / I’m sincerely sorry for your family. Please accept my sympathy. I am sending comforting wishes. Love endures.
So sorry to hear your news. My uncle died of corona contracted when he was in hospital due to a fall. We could not attend the cremation, but his son n law gave a beautiful tribute online x
Oh thats so sad jo. Im so very sorry for both losses. What a tough time youre having. Thats the cruel thing with CV isnt it, people being alone. So so sad.
My friends mum died recently and they couldnt have a proper funeral. they managed to get some sort of on line thing going and all raised a glass together which was some comfort. try to stay strong and when this is over maybe you can have some sort of memorial service. Big hugs and best wishes xxx
Dear Jo: Sending you and your family (especially your sister) deep sympathy for the unimaginable losses you’ve had. May God comfort you all in your grief. So very sad. Love & prayers to all of you. ❤️🙏❤️
This must be a really sad time for your sister and the rest of your family. What makes it worse is that no one can properly grieve or say goodbye. May he Rest In Peace.
So very sorry to hear about your mom and now your brother-in-law. These are terrible, sad times where people are ill, dying and buried without loved ones.
I’ve no words of comfort but hope your sister will somehow find peace of mind in the midst of this sadness.
I’m sorry Sunny. This seems to be the worse part of the whole ideal, pulling apart families so they can’t be there together in a time of crisis. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi Jo
Sending you and your family my deepest sympathies.
My deepest condolences to you, your sister and family. So sad think people are dying alone and grieving family can’t have their family and friends close by for much needed for personal support, love and caring. Let’s hope and pray this ends soon for everyone.
Dear Jo, so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers go to you, your sister and the family. How this blessed virus prevents us from saying goodbye in the way we would have liked is terrible. I do hope that when this is over you will be able to remember him together. Fay
I am so sorry for the lost to you and your family. This is a really sad time and especially for the families who have lost a love one. May your board family surround you and your sister with our love. Much comfort and peace to you through our Lord's healing hands. Blessings,
I can only try to imagine how horribly painful this must be for your family! Is there anything we can do, besides sending you notes here? A time to light a candle or drink a toast or hug a pillow, notes you can forwqrd to your sister? To have this happen in the isolation this virus is putting of us, with no final hugs or words or prayers, no family huddled together ...... it makes me so sad just to think about and here your dear family is living it...... love and prayers and peace to you, dear sister in cancer!
I’m so sorry for your loss. Times are scary these days, makes our cancer diagnosis pale in comparison to the troubles in our current world. Prayer for you, your family and the planet as a whole❤️🌏✌️
I’m so sorry for your family’s loss. Yes the fact of people dying alone without family and not being able to hold funeral services makes it all so much more tragic. My condolences.
